You know, i put on mobsters and criminals and murderers, and guess what, juries believe them when theyre corroborated by other witnesses and other evidence. were going to have that here, too. we also have a person notwithstanding the allegations on fox news tonight of impeccable character and thats a pretty good witness to have. >> and, tim, i opened the story in our first segment tonight, theres the old peggy lee song, "is that all there is?" for the resistance, once the mueller report was out,...

Whole lot from republicans close to the president because they dont really know what to say yet. they want to see how this vote goes. they want to see what comes out. theyre going to have to kind of shift gears here and figure out something else to say. >> jonathan swan, lets talk about a little bit of irony here. this is a president who, indeed, loves the phrase, kind of dated as it is, central casting. this is a president who likes to physically mime the characteristics of military bearing. th...

Happen this thursday. its a follow on to a hearing, a closed door hearing that we had last week, probably the most sobering intelligence hearing ive been to. we had a witness from central casting who basically came in and gave very careful, considered and consistent testimony, basically saying to us, do something about this complaint, and he happened to be appointed by the trump administration. so thats why i think people are so concerned right now. >> well, thats the inspector general, but what...

Says. trump doesnt think he looks the part, you know bolton is an acquired taste. i mean, how much of this is sort of a story in reverse that donald trumps initial concerns about bolton related to quote, unquote casting and appearance, and then by the end, he appears to have been dragged to actual policy debates in the situation room. >> i think it has some measure to it. you know how trump is. if you dont come from central casting he doesnt particularly like you, and i think right now -- i thin...

Know, mad dog, he had a term that seemed to resonate a lot with the president. when and how did it go wrong between them? >> well, i think that the president was so enamored of the idea during the transition of hiring military figures including secretary mattis and general kelly also who originally ran the department of homeland security, and he used to refer to them as "my generals." and he was very high on this idea of having these military men who looked like they were out of central casting,...

Out of central casting, you know, running some key agencies and being key cabinet members. i think what happened is they didnt always agree with him, either on policies, on the transgender troops, on pulling troops out of afghanistan, on just larger national security issues, the threat of russia. you know, these are not necessarily yes men. and you know, mattis sort of hints at that subtly in this "wall street journal" essay, where he talks about within the marines hes never met so many maverick...

Defense secretary for donald trump. >> book tour might be interesting on this one. nancy, we -- it did not end well between the president and mattis. we played that clip from a couple months ago. but obviously before that the president would be praising him in public, lionizing him, you know, mad dog, he had a term that seemed to resonate a lot with the president. when and how did it go wrong between them? >> well, i think that the president was so enamored of the idea during the transition of h...

To hear him on the rally stage, he changed everything. >> before the election our factories were closing. who knows it better than you? youre like central casting for the closing of factories. our jobs were vanishing. >> now, that last part is not true. compare the first 30 months of the trump presidency to the final 30 months of the obama presidency. the obama economy created nearly 1 million more jobs. the president has an explanation for that. he says his count should start earlier. >> you go...

From where they were four, eight years ago. >> i want to play something else, daniel, that trump said today. listen to this. >> i love cranes. i love trucks of all types. even when i was a little boy at 4 years old, my mother would say, you love trucks. i do. i always loved trucks. i still do. nothing changes. sometimes, you know, you might become president, but nothing changes. i still love trucks, especially when i look at the largest crane in the world. thats very cool. you think ill get to o...

4 years old, my mother would say, you love trucks. i do. i always loved trucks. i still do. nothing changes. sometimes, you know, you might become president, but nothing changes. i still love trucks, especially when i look at the largest crane in the world. thats very cool. you think ill get to operate it? >> you might remember these photos. theyre from 2017 of trump in trucks. can you fact check his love of trucks, please? >> i cannot fact check his love of trucks. i do have a thought about thi...
